His first choice for manager lost to another, Rory Smith asks where does Chelsea’s owner look next?

It is almost ten years since Roman Abramovich fell in love with football, with
English football, one night at Old Trafford and since — according to legend
— he was turned down by Tottenham Hotspur and switched his covetous glances
to Chelsea instead.

He has transformed the club into an ultra-modern powerhouse, the great nascent
force of the 21st century. He has led them to three Barclays Premier League
titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League. He has achieved almost
everything he might have hoped for. After ten years, it is time, at long
last, for a reality check.
